Eddie and Loren: I'll Walk

by JordanG14

Well, this started out as a One Shot based on the song "I'll Walk" by Bucky Covington. But then, by many requests, I turned it into a Short Story. There are actually a few chapters now, that are all based on songs. I will take a few of these songs and put them into my Big Story, but for now please enjoy this story. So technically it's no longer a one shot, but whatever. :)

4. Prequel: The Wedding Anniversary Part 2

"I'll Walk" Prequel:

1 Year Wedding Anniversary/ Concert

Part: 2

These chapters are about how Loren and Eddie feel a year into their relationship. Loren is healed from the accident and can walk. This song mostly reflects on the way things have been the past year as Loren struggled to be able to walk again. They are going to actually sing this song!

(Eddie and Loren are sitting at home by the piano when they come up with this song. They are going to sing it at a concert, as one of their new songs.)

Eddie: "We are just too perfect!"

Loren: "Yeah, except for that jackass disability!"

Eddie: "You know babe, I'll never understand how you did it."

Loren: "Me either, it like a storm that literally cut my path. It really broke my will!"

Eddie: "Does it really feel like that?"

Loren: "Yes! No lies, it really feels like that!"

Eddie: "How did you keep pushing through?"

Loren: "Honestly, I thought I was lost and that it was just me."

Eddie: "But babe, you weren't lost on your own, you were never alone." I say smiling as Loren leans in to give me a kiss. After about 5 minutes she pulls away, "You know I love you right?"

Loren: "Yes, we've both got it bad! You stuck around through everything. And anytime you were gone, every phone call would end and you would call right back just to make sure everything was really okay."

Eddie: "I'm sorry for that, it's just that Jake scheduled meetings for both of us and I wanted to attend yours for you."

Loren: "I know babe and that's why I love you so bad!"

Eddie: "I didn't even have to miss a full day without you, but when I did my whole life was off track. And we really do have it bad! I remember the days where you would be gone, out with your mom or Mel, and I didn't wanna have fun. All I did was, think about you even if Pops came over."

Loren: "But, see it has always been like this with us. Everything in our past, or our present didn't matter anymore."

Eddie: "Like my money, or my cars. I would give it all back because I am so fortunate to have you girl." Loren smiled her innocent little smile that usually said "Really?" "Lo, I want you to know how much I really adore you and I want to make you feel beautiful."

Loren: "I would be so lost if I didn't have you, Eddie." I whisper as Eddie sends spine tingling kisses from his lips to my forehead. "Honestly, I have nothing else to say except, I'm glad God gave me you."

Eddie: "Babe, there is more than what we are seeing and saying; it's like a divine conspiracy that you an angel who is so lovely could fall for me."

Loren: "You will always be Cupid's great martyr (means victim), I guess." I say jokingly.

Eddie: "I'm so flattered…."

Loren: "Yeah a flattered fool, like Papa Max says."

Eddie: "Wow how nice of you!" I say whisper sarcastically.

Loren: "But I need you my Flattered Fool!" Eddie and I both die laughing until he sits up and leans me back against the arm of the couch and our mouths begin to wrestle.

It's like a storm

That cuts a path

It breaks your will

It feels like that

You think you're lost

But you're not lost on your own

You're not alone

U got, u got it bad

When you're on the phone

Hang up and you call right back

U got, u got it bad

If you miss a day without your friend

Your whole life's off track

You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house

You don't wanna have fun

It's all you think about

U got it bad when you're out with someone

But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else

U got it bad

When you say that you love 'em

And you really know

Everything that used to matter, don't matter no more

Like my money, all my cars

(You can have it all back)

Said I'm fortunate to have you girl

I want you to know

I really adore you

I want to make you feel beautiful

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

Gave me you

There's more here than what we're seeing

A divine conspiracy

That you, an angel lovely

Could somehow fall for me

You'll always be love's great martyr

And I'll be the flattered fool

And I need you

Eddie: Loren and I are having a passionate make-out session until my phone begins to ring. "Ughh," I groan.

Loren: "Answer it!"

Eddie: "No…"

Loren: "Yes!"

Eddie: "Fine!" I laugh picking up my phone. "Hello?"

Person: "Do you have a new song for me yet?"

Eddie: "Yeah Jake, we are working on it right now."

Jake: "Kelly and I will be over in 20 to hear it."

Eddie: "It's not in music form yet."

Jake: "Well whatever it is I better be able to here it when I get there!"

Eddie: "Jake…" I didn't even get a chance to finish because he hung up. "Uhhh, well Jake and Kelly are coming to here this song."

Loren: "What? It's not even a song yet!"

Eddie: "Yeah I know. But God gave me you for these situations! This is a time of doubt but I know we can pull through."

Loren: "I think you've lost your mind, but I do know that God did give me you."

Eddie: "Well see right now, if I was on my own, I would be half of what I could really be. I couldn't make this a song without you."

Loren: "Fine. How long do we have?"

Eddie: "About 20 minutes, but we are stitched together for a reason." I say lovingly. "And since love has tethered us together, I know and pray that we will never undo it."

Loren: "Yeah me too! Now come on, get your notebook we need to start working!"

Eddie: After getting up and getting a pencil and my notebook I sit back down. "Well, my heart is full and my door is open for you."

Loren: "But I thought you said that I can only come when you want?"

Eddie: "I've changed my mind. You can come anytime you want. I know all the things that make you who you are, so you are no longer a stranger."

Loren: "Well I'm glad it took you multiple years to no longer consider me a stranger."

Eddie: "Well, the only reason you are no longer a stranger is because you and me have this major thing in common!"

Loren: "And what would that be?"

Eddie: "Well, I know that a goodbye from either one of us means nothing at all."

Loren: "Words of wisdom from the guy who almost let me say goodbye a few years ago."

Eddie: "But you came back, and I caught you before you fell."

Loren: "True, but how do I know you will catch me every time I fall?"

Eddie: "Because Loren Tate-Duran, I will stand by you. I will help you through everything, even when you think you have done all you can do and still can't cope. I will dry your eyes, and I will fight your fight, and keep holding on tight and will never let go!" I say defending myself as tears begin to form in my eyes.

Loren: Wiping away the tears that have fallen from my face and then wiping the ones that are soon to fall from Eddie's eyes, "It hurts my heart to see you cry like this. Eddie I know that sometimes our parts of life will get dark…"

Eddie: "I'm only crying because I love you so much and I know that those parts of dark life will find us all. And I know that we are too small to stop that rain."

Loren: "Oh Eddie, but when it rains…"

Eddie: "I will continue to stand by you! And help you through, even when you've done all you can do and still can't cope! I will always dry your eyes, and fight your fight, and hold on tight."

Loren: "But sooner or later I will get weak and fall…"

Eddie: "Babe, I won't let you fall. And if you are going to fall then don't be afraid because I will always be there to catch you."

Loren: "Oh Eddie, I won't fall, I won't let you down."

Eddie: "Good, because babe, I don't want you to let it get you down." I say as I kiss Loren's hand. "We are gonna make it!"

Loren: "I know we can make it! Especially, if we continue to write songs."

Jake: Opening Eddie and Loren's house door, "Speaking of songs…"

God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

On my own I'm only

Half of what I could be

I can't do without you

We are stitched together

And what love has tethered

I pray we never undo

My heart is full

And my door's always open

You can come anytime you want

Know all of the things that make you who you are

I know that goodbye means nothing at all

Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

If you can't cope

I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I won't let go

It hurts my heart

To see you cry

I know it's dark

This part of life

Oh it finds us all

Finds us all

And we're too small

To stop the rain

Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

And you can't cope

I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I won't let you fall

Don't be afraid to fall

I'm right here to catch you

I won't let you down

It won't get you down

We're gonna make it

Yeah I know we can make it
